In a meeting this week between Prime Minister Netanyahu and twenty settlement leaders, Netanyahu said that it was the US’s demand to freeze settlements that prevented the meeting of the Department of Planning in the Civil Administration.

Netanyahu said he was the one who gave the order for the department to not meet, but didn’t anticipate the extensive damage that came about as a result, where, even to put up a light post, much less build a needed nursery school, became impossible.

Netanyahu told the leaders that Obama had demanded of him that not even one house be built.

Who is the PM of Israel? What type of threat did the American dictator make? Nobody else on the planet listens to him. He demands release of Arab murderers, but we Jew's are not allowed to build a home.

This is a microcosm of the problem with Israel's foreign policy. The U.S. and every other country can demand all they want. But, Israel should not blindly act on these demands. Any pressure or demands placed on Israel should only be what's best for Israel. So, when the U.S. and other nations make demands that are not in the best interest of Israel, I would promptly tell these people to take their demands and shove it up their ass. I don't hear Obama or the Europeans demand that the Palestinians and their henchmen stop shooting rockets into Israel. Nor do I hear the righteous indignation that the Palestinians must stop murdering, raping, assaulting, rioting, and committing acts of terrorism against Israel. These activities are ongoing and happen on a regular basis. The biased , pro Arab stances really add up to a very old and destructive ideology called anti-Semitism. Israel needs to take a stronger approach to foreign policy and stop trying to gain popularity others who have no credibility and no right to dictate to anyone to do or not do something. Nor does the pope. Instead of wasting time browbeating Israel, they should worry about their own countries, economics, education, come to mind.. Most if not all of the countries that are acting high and mighty, have some serious problems. Spend more time and effort fixing your own country and then you will have less time nettling in things that don't concern them.

The Arabs claim that Israel is imprisoning them with walls. Cutting off farms they once owned and keep taking and taking until now they are imprisoned by you..they sah you have taken 70 per cent of their living resourses..im not saying I agree, just saying what I read of them..

Netanyahu has no backbone and is lying again. He wants to have a terrorist state in the heart of Israel and has been destroying Jewish homes and arresting Jews for price tag graffiti which is often done by Arabs or the Shabak. When it comes to dealing with Arabs he does nothing to quell Arab violence and releases terrorists. We need real Jewish leadership instead of Pipi (Peres) Netanyahu.

Bibi is my hero, but now he says that he can't stand up against hubama who is hell bend on the destruction of Israel? Why is Bibi dancing to the tune of hubama? What hold had hubama on Bibi? This makes me worry

do not listen to Obama Israel is on its on as long as we have Obama Obama is a muslim and hates Israel but Israel will win in the end they have God on their side and you will always come out on top if you have him in your corner

Jacques Daniel. Obama from the first day in power, said the border of 1967 war, should be Israel, Border. since he was always on the side of the Arabs. he left Iraq, bringing home thousands of the military from Arab land to please them. Bibi, answer him and tell him to Read his Bible, that this is the land of Israel and the Arabs came from the desert and occupied the land, like the Roman and Others. In another two Years is BYBY OOBAMA ,
